Nearer, My God, To Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

E'en though it be a cross, that raiseth me!

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God to Thee!

Nearer, my God to Thee

Nearer to Thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down

Darkness be over me, my rest a stone

Yet in my dreams I'd be,

Nearer, my God to Thee.

Then, with my waking thoughts,

bright with Thy praise

Out of my stony grief, Bethel I'll raise

So by my woes to be,

Nearer my God, to Thee.

Or if on joyful wing, cleaving the sky

Sun, moon and stars forgot, upward I fly

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer my God, to Thee.
